Zuma visited SAA on Friday to monitor progress at the state owned company‚ as part of his nine-point plan that seeks to support the SOCs.The South African Transport and Allied Workers Union (Satawu) said: “President‚ for the first [time] in history the current board of SAA is fighting for transformation.“Why are they not receiving enough support from those who are supposed to support the board?" asked Matthew Ramosie‚ Satawu’s national co-ordinator.Dudu Myeni‚ the controversial SAA chairperson‚ admitted that racism was rife at the state-owned company.Mpho Moikangoa‚ a staff representative who is also the general secretary of South African Chefs Association‚ said SAA “is a toxic environment to work at. But they are there to serve people out of their own sweat - she [Dudu Myeni] must work hard because she listened to us.”Myeni said the chief executive had been asked to establish a committee to deal with racism.Staff also demanded to know who has interests in buying SAA and on what basis it would be sold.Ramosie said: "We believe that the routes that were closed were closed deliberately to make sure that SAA does not make profit to allow those who want to buy it to do so because it will not be making profit.”Myeni responded by emphasising that SAA had money.Zuma told his audience that the Cabinet had not discussed selling SAA. “We have taken no decision to sell this company. The day we decide so we will provide reasons why SAA should be sold.”The president acknowledged the issues raised by staff members and promised to respond during his next visit to SAA. – TMG Digital/The Times..
